Famed for its soccer team and music scene, which has
produced the likes of the Smiths and Oasis, this center for sports
and the arts is a down-to-earth and friendly city. The so-called
Capital of the North has overcome industrial decline, bombing (in
WWII and by the IRA) to become a confident and cosmopolitan city of
well over two million. It is well served by a bus and light rail
network. Top attractions include the Lowry art complex, arcade
Affleck's Palace and Canal Street gay village.
